# Iggy: "Worked from six til I was relieved."
# Iggy: "Worked from six til I was relieved."


The statement from Iggy implies (but doesn't explicitly state) that she was relieved by another guard.  As such, she starts at 6AM.  Pop can't be the first shift because his was too short, and not the third since Bernie's expression indicates he was on that shift instead.  He is therefore from 9PM-12AM.  Since Al didn't do 8 hours, he gets 12AM-6AM.  This leaves Bernie at 1PM-9PM, and the explosion happening at 8 o'clock.

Note that the image should be right-side up: The mouth should be on the bottom.  If it is upside down, there is no credit given for the puzzle.  The painting resembles what's found at the lodge.
